8�1 Rules for Mounting Battens
• The open end of a 120 mm × 30 mm batten may only overlap the rafter/the counter batten by max. 200 mm.
• If the open end overlaps the rafter/the counter batten by more than 200 mm, the batten must be continued as far as the next
rafter/next counter batten.
8 ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Battens must be mounted with screws according to
„Mounting Screws for Battens“ on page 25
. The use of nails is not acceptable.
• Mounting screws must observe the following minimum intervals:
• 31.5 mm distance in the direction of the grain (from the end of the wedge plank / batten)
• 22.5 mm perpendiculary to the direction of the grain (from the edge of the wedge plank / batten).
The mounting of two adjoining battens onto a single counter batten (as in the above diagram) is NOT ac ceptable if the distance
of the end of the batten to fall short of the minimum of 31.5 mm.
To ensure that the required minimum distance is observed, the rafter/the counter batten must be “doubled” at the sides and the
adjoining batten mounted onto it (as depicted in the drawing
„Rules for Mounting Battens“
).

Figure 63: Cutting a batten to size
• If the batten collides with a tiling batten, the batten must be continued as far as the next rafter / next counter batten and cut
to size in such a way that it replaces the tiling batten in this section (see diagram).
